A nurse says she was assaulted and illegally arrested by a Salt Lake City police detective for following a hospital policy that does not allow blood draws from unconscious patients. Video shows Utah nurse screaming, being dragged into police car after refusing to let officer take blood from unconscious victim - The Salt Lake Tribune What kind of world are we living in that we're at risk for being arrested for doing the right thing? I'm wondering why no management or supervisors stepped in for this situation. This is not my home state, but I'm pretty sure that the law is the same when it comes to consent. Anyone else able to shed some light on this situation? This is terrible that she was treated that way. I can't imagine.

Lately I've been feeling kind of down about nursing school and I'm not sure why. I'm five months away from graduating nursing school (RN), my grades have been fine, but lately I've been feeling like I'm losing my motivation. I don't feel like studying or making an effort. Even with how far I've come, I feel like I haven't accomplished anything. I haven't figured out if this is due to school or if it's just life. I love nursing but the home stretch is just leaving me exhausted. Did anyone else feel like this? Did it get better once school was over?

I was a CNA for almost 4 years working at a post-op rehab (where we mostly dealt with hips and knees) and then home care. I hurt my back, so I transitioned into becoming a pharmacy technician. I work in an inpatient hospital pharmacy now and as much as I love this job, I miss being a CNA. As much as it stressed me out beyond belief, it was the best job I've ever had. That's why I'm super excited to start nursing school in the fall! I was just curious to see if anyone else was influenced by a job they had, and if it helped you when you went into nursing? I'm hoping that my past/present experience will at least help me out a little when I start nursing school especially when it comes to medications and IVs.

That's good to hear! I also want to continue on for my masters after my BSN and wanted to make sure that doing it online won't be steps backward, you know? Thank you for the advice and congradulations on your acceptance to continue your education!

I'll start off by saying that I've been accepted to an accredited two-year RN program. Super excited! My question is that for people who were in the same situation as me, how did you go about continuing on your education to obtain a BSN after your RN? I was doing some research and I've noticed that a lot of RN-BSN programs are online (even a major university). Is this normal? I always thought that getting a nursing degree online was a bad idea? I'm not trying to bash on anyone that has, I just sincerely do not know. I also am getting way ahead of myself, but I just want to prepare myself for the future. Thanks for any answers! I appreciate the help! (sorry if this is in the wrong section)

I sent a request to join!

Same here, typing it exactly as it shows and it still says no results. I even tried googling it.

Congratulations Sharon! I'm not able to find the webpage either. Maybe its because I'm trying from my phone?

Traditional! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you too kylebrian97!

OMG I'M IN! I just danced around the house!!!

Where did you get to go for your clincials kylebrian97? Do you get to pick where you want to go or give a preference?

That does make me feel a little better, thanks TC_2014! One step at a time is all we can hope for, I guess. I have my fingers crossed for all of us!

Is the wait killing anyone else? I'm driving myself crazy, because I can't wait to find out. The longer I wait, the less hopeful I get about my chances to get in. I was hoping that because the deadline was sooner this year, we would find out sooner. Guess not lol.

Why was mine so long ago? It's kind of freaking me out. I did put in my application in October the day they started taking applications. But still. How about everyone else?

I remember people in previous years talk about when their last degree audit was? Does anyone know why that matters? My last audit was 12/30/14.
